KANSAS CATTLE.

The news that Colorado had quarantined
against all Kansas cattle, created consider
able surprise among the state officials. The
first intimation of an intention to take such
a step was conveyed in telegram from
Colonel Sawyer, of Manhattan, received at
the governors office on Monday. In this
there was nothing explanatory, the dispatch
merely saying that unless the reports con-
corning the death of the Crane cattle was
contradicted through the press, Colorado
would establish a permanent quarantine.
A similar dispatch was received at the
same time by H. A Heath, of the Kansas
Farmer
The state veterinarian, DR.. Holcomb, was
seen by reporter yesterday, but said he
knew nothing of the matter beyond the
facts above given. He said the lot OF cattle
referred to were sold at Abilene three
years ago and that a number had died
of tuberculosis, or lung consumption,
but that that was no cause tor
such action He presumed the true reason
was probably the failure of the legislature
to make any appropriation to pay the ex-
penses of the sanitary commission, SO that
after July 1st cattle can come into Kansas
from any direction. The doctor thought
that the only thing that could be done was
to submit to the required inspection. There
has never been even single case of pleuroo
pneumonia among cattle in the state OF
Kansas. -TOpeka Commonwealth.

ANOTHER NATIONAL PARK.
Prom the Philadelphia rfmes.


A bill which the Fiftieth Congress is to be
asked to consider and pass will be one In
which the soldier element will have a pc
culiar interest Its main features have al
ready been agreed upon by the body OF
Tennesseeans who have it in charge. In
brief it will provide for the purchase by
congress of the battle fields of Lookout
Mountain, Moccasin Bend, Chickamauga
and Missionary Ridge, all of which are
comparatively near together, for the
purpose of establishing national
park So far as possible the out
lines of the battle fields will
be preserved and, provided suitable appro-
priations are made, monuments will be
erected to the memory Of the fullen on both
sides and statues Of leading generals placed
in position. In support of the measure it
will be urged that the Yellowstone, the only
national park owned the government. is
practically inaccessible to the masses Of the
people, and that the proposed reservation
would be within easy reach. 1t would also,
the memorial says, ''surpass the Yellow.
stone in beauty, if not in grandure, and
would serve as perpetual and appropriate
memento of the great conflict of that rebel
lion, appreciated by the northern and
southern people alike, truly national In
character"

WILL TAKE CARE or HERSELF.

As will be seen by the following extracts
it is not exactly a healthy proceeding for
any of the papers of the older towns of the
state to talk disparagingly of any south
western Kansas town:
"Attica, Kansas, small obscure hamlet
if the southwest corner of the state, adver-
tises herself in the Wichita EAGLE as the
center of empire" The average Kansas
village may lack many things, but conceit
and pride are not included in this lack.
Abilene Gazette.
The latter part of the above may well be
applied to some newspapers as well, the
Gazette itself for instance. And for a la
mentable lack of elementary geographical
tainly conspicuous. Attica, dearly
revered Gazette, is city
nearly as large as Abilene, and it is situa-
ted half a mile east of the central line OF
Kansas 1t supports two good healthy
newspapers, daily newspaper full as good
as the Gazette and lacks very much of
being an Obscure hamlet in the southwest
corner of the state" 1t isn't our funeral
exactly, but such conceited ignorance
makes us tired. Harper Graphic.
Thanks, Messrs. Finch 81 Walker, for
your intercession in our behalf. For pure,
unadulterated ignorance the Gazette takes
the pie. He evidently has just recovered
from protracted spree and hates himself
and everybody else Attica is becoming
known without doubt-Attica Bulletin.

INGALLS, AND ENGLAND.

Senator ingalls, has recently delivered a
speech on the Irish question to large
meeting of his Kansas constituents which
will give fsr more ofenSe in England than
was given by his strikingly vivid and Wit

in the senate. He charges that the course
of England against Ireland has always been

the time has come for the the rest Of the
world to protest in the name of civilization
against a spectacle which can not III any
sense be excused by enlightened people.

RICHTIELD-wICHITA.

R1CHFIELD, Morton Co., Kan, April Is.
| To the Editor of the Eagle.
1t is with pleasure we read your recent
article defining the natural limits of Wichi.
ta's trade territory. and advocating ways
and means to hold the trade within the
prescribed limits. You are right in saying
that Wichita wants more railroads; and
| what is most needed is line through the
southern tier of counties and to the great
coal fields seventy miles southwest OF us.
Inaugerate boom that will build this line
and you will be doubly blest.
No enterprise affecting this country
would meet with more hearty welcome,
or substantial assistance, than any effort
emanating from Wichita, for the reason
that fully sixty per cent Of our people here
have lived elsewhere in the great Arkansas
Valley, within the limits of Wichita's en-
terprise, and the influence Of her boom and
having been matured in that atmosphere,
we believe implicitly that Wichita's gain is
our gain, and we are ready and ripe to pull
together to advance our mutual intrests.
Personally, we came to Kansas fifteen
years ago and have been witness to the
magical transformation. that has taken place
in Southern Kansas. Grasshopper year
we hauled cord wood to Wichita from
point thirty miles southeast, in order to
live, and knowing that all our country
had then was prairie grass and sunshine,
and knowing Wichita in her infancy we
take pleasurable pride in being factor,
though ever so small, in the progress and
development of this wonder of the nine
tenth century: and we tackle the develop
ment of western Kansas with redOubled
vigor, entirely rid Of the doubts that per
picked us in the days gone by. OF the
seventy-three counties we have visited in
this state, none possess brighter future
than Morton county.
Of our soil, Prof o. St. John, in the
last agricultural report says: ''The sur
face soil generally consists Of light brown
loan, possessing all the elements essential
to fertility and remarkable tractability
under cultivation" As to our rainfall:
Last year we recorded 81 17-100 inches
rainfall between April 18th and Oct. 18th,
and in the past week we have had 5 631O0
inches rainfall and it is raining at this wri-
ting.
Let Wichita look to her interest and re-
melnber that the upper Arkansas valley is
as good as the lower, and their trade be-
longs to her, and help herself by helping
us get a railroad at once.
Any questions concerning our country
or people viii be cheerfully answered by
